Each year the Conquistadors sponsor the Conquistador Cup, a three-day
sailing event on beautiful Charlotte Harbor.

The Tenth Annual
Conquistador Cup Regatta at Punta Gorda, Florida on March 8 and 9, 2003 - honoring E.
David Johnson - was a great success.

Congratulations to
Dave Johnson, Jr. for his first place in the Purple Fleet. Your father
would be proud. Thank you to all who sailed in the competition and to Dave
Hansen for his hard work organizing the event. Race result thanks go to
Gary Trimmer.

Thanks also to the
Royal Order of Ponce De Leon Conquistadors of Charlotte County for their
sponsorship and support and to Bob Pachota, Jose Basillio and Doug Morey for
manning the Committee Boat for Sunday's race.
